The Chinese and Even Jews have their own calendar too. It still remains that scientifically the days are still cut into the same time periods of 24 hours a day and 365 days or 364 depending on leap year. Considering the planet is 4 billion years old, knowing you cant pin it down to an exact date, seems pointless. And how would you note a for 4 billion year old planet, or even a 13.8 billion year old universe on a check, or paperwork? 

Most of the world uses 2019 as our common year for communication and business purposes in any case. I get not liking the BS claims that Christians use it to note the "return" of Jesus. But secularists say common era instead of BC. 

I think the world has bigger fish to fry than to worry about a calendar.

If you want to piss off the Jesus  fundies who insist on saying BC, remind them that the days of the week and months are all named after polytheists god/s.

[emphasis mine]

Not all of them.

Point was that Christians did not invent time keeping. You are right, not "all", but most are named after polytheistic gods. "Sunday" is "sun day and "Monday" is "moon day", sure.  But Wed and Thurs are named after polytheistic gods. 

Point still is Christianity did not invent time keeping, but it our noting years currently is what most communication and business use.  I think simply saying "Common Era" instead of "BC" makes it neutral instead of Christian.

2019 is certainly arbitrary in cosmic time knowing the planet and universe is far older. But from a pragmatic standpoint, denoting 2019 as the same year worldwide is what communication, business go by. I was simply saying the planet has bigger fish to fry than trying to rename the months or days of the year.
